CIA chief says China’s rapid military buildup troubling

Posted by Matt in April 30th, 2008

CIA chief Michael Hayden charged Wednesday that China was beefing up its military with “remarkable speed and scope,” calling the buildup “troubling.”

The Chinese, he said, had fully absorbed the lessons of both Gulf wars, developing and integrating advanced weaponry into a modern military force.

Hayden said while Beijing’s new capabilities could pose a risk to US forces and interests in the region, the military modernization was as much about projecting strength as anything else.

	China Military Power 2009 中国大陆军队2009预告 Artist: Secret Garden Composer: unknown The wheels of life keep turning. Spinning without control; The wheels of the heart keep yearning. For the sound of the singing soul. And nights are full with weeping. For sins of the past we’ve sown; But, tomorrow is ours for the keeping, Tomorrow the future’s shown. Lift your eyes and see the glory. Where the circle of life is drawn; See the never-ending story, Come with me to the Gates of Dawn. And whose is the hand who raises The sun from the heaving sea? The power that ever amazes — We look, but never will see? Who scattered the seeds so life could be, Who coloured the fields of corn? Who formed the mould that made me — me, Before the world was born? Lift your eyes and see the glory. Where the circle of life is drawn; See the never-ending… Tags: China, military, force, parade, japan, Chinese, Army, US, American, War, humanity, pla, USA, commentary, analysis, documentary, gotcha!, grassroots, outreach, news, political, commercial, tibet, spies, cat, food, tainted, toothpaste, poison, 凤凰卫视军情观察室董家耀马鼎
